new Tool, trying to find something better for note-taking flow in longer-form stuff... I like reading new material offline, under a tree, and so having a thing that makes that easy is nice. I've been using a Kobo Aura One for a while, but the display doesn't quite cut it. I guess I could have installed KOReader on it instead of this thing, but I also have other plans for this.

For example:

• daily Journal cards

• sketchbook redrawn on the AxiDraw

• notebook OCR extraction using remarks

• export reading statistics I have a notebook for periodically Exporting highlights/notes from KOReader.

Wallabag client configuration

By default this tries to delete from the server rather than Archive, which seems like ... a bad pattern.

I have the Client set to download 500 items, more than I'll ever want, but maybe I can find an idle Habit to mark things read that I'll not process in to the Archive, it's a task in my Weekly Review after all.

• download directory is ~/remarkable/bag which is a part of my Syncthing data cluster.

• no tag filters,

• article deletion:

  • remotely delete finished articles

  • remotely delete 100% read articles

  • mark as read instead of deleting

  • process deletions when downloading

  • unchecked sync remotely deleted files

Software in Use

• https://github.com/evidlo/remarkable_entware -> had to hack the shit out of this, wget was giving "connection reset by peer"

• Syncthing via remarkable_syncthing

• network printing over USB via https://github.com/Evidlo/remarkable_printer

• KOReader for Wallabag & Books -> installation

  • Exporting highlights/notes from KOReader

Restoring access after update

If Xochitl is auto-started after turning on the tablet, these shell commands should be run with the device connected over USB. Get the password out of the License and Compliance section of the reMarkble's help application.

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa root@remarkable
ssh root@remarkable

optware mounts must be re-enabled. I have remarkable_entware setup above, the installer script will recreate the mounts and then exit with an error.

sh -x ./entware_install.sh

the toltec repository must be re-enabled

sh entware-reenable

oxide has to be reenabled, i just reinstall it...

systemctl disable --now xochitl
systemctl enable --now tarnish

lastly, syncthing's systemd service needs to be installed:

cp /home/root/syncthing.service /etc/systemd/system/syncthing.service
systemctl daemon-reload
